Over the weekend, Storm Éowyn wreaked havoc across Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and parts of the U.K. and France, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. The powerful storm, with wind gusts reaching up to 114 mph (183 kph), caused significant damage to infrastructure and resulted in widespread power outages affecting over 1 million people.
In Ireland, the hardest-hit country, the storm snapped telephone poles, destroyed a Dublin ice rink, and even toppled a massive wind turbine. The state electricity company, ESB Networks, reported that more than 300,000 properties in Ireland were still without power on Sunday, with efforts to restore electricity expected to take up to two weeks.
